I'll tuck you in soft and slow
Whisper a couple obscure memories to you
And while you slowly awaken from your sedation
You'll feel the binds getting tighter.
Just to make this a little more miserable,
I'll remove the blindfold
And all you'll do is beg me to just take you home.
But baby don't you remember what you've been doing to me so often lately?
Don't you recall how you said you didn't need me anymore?
I'll prove to you
Just how necessary I am
And this is the best example I've got.
Shot down and shut out, you'll be begging me for mercy.
Ecstasy surges through my veins,
and my revenge is finally coming full circle.
Do you know what you're put me through?
You're nothing but a stupid little whore.
Just a stupid little whore...
Now you're fully awake
Your faces emphasizes that you've come to comprehend my intentions.
I'm done being the one to be hurt, the damaged one.
This time it's all on you, but don't cry too loudly.
Please be silent, I promise this won't hurt long.
The final moments approach
Eyes plead to my soul, begging for me to let you go.
But girl, we've gone too far.
There's no way back, this is revenge.
Suspended on this pole.
I've got you right where I want you.
Doused in gasoline it's your time sweety.
Don't waste your breath.
You've got tears flowing from your beautiful eyes.
But baby this is a pyre, and once you're on it
You can't get down.
One more breath, It's time for death.
Toss the match and watch my baby burn.
Yeah
Burn baby, burn.

Awesome darkness. Eerie and engaging. Excellent use of vocabulary and construction. Great storyline and imagery. Was a nice twist on some dark imaginings. Thanks for the great read.
